Oh Boy, a few things!!

Soooo, the trade deadline came and went. The Mets did nothing. That's just great. I don't know what we were thinking, but oh well. And, the biggest news is that Manny was traded and believe me, I'm glad he went to the Dodgers and not to the Marlins. It's bad enough we lost two of three to them, but if they got Manny also? That would be horrible. So, we're now 1/2 game out of first and maybe a full game if the Phillies win tonight. Not too bad. I wish we were in first, but whatever. We need to kick the crap out of the Astros now.

So, I've been applying to a bunch of places now and haven't heard back yet, but that's common. We'll see what happens. I hate the waiting process when trying to get a new job. It completely blows. And yes, I did just apply to the A&F position and to another one. They both seem like really really sweet positions. And also, I found a writing position. The ad didn't give much details but they want a writing sample so tomorrow I'm going to spend a bunch of the day writing to get them some samples and see what happens. Probably nothing but whatever. It'll be fun just to have the opportunity and it would be amazing if it actually turned into something.

The past week I've seen a bunch of movies, both at the theater and rented, so I thought I'd give my reviews of them. This will not include the Dark Knight. That I'm going to save for next week. Just so I can give you guys some time to watch it.

The X-Files: I want to believe - Well this movie is what it was suppose to be, just a longer version of the show. It had nothing to do with aliens or continued the story. It basically just showed you where Mulder and Scully were at now(Mulder hiding from the public and Scully a doctor). It was pretty good but the ending was very anti-climatic, which kinda sucked. It just seemed to end and it wasn't very shocking or surprising. But, I liked it, no surprise.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - This is by far the funniest movie of the year. I was laughing throughout the whole movie. Also, the music for the play inside the movie was great. This is why Jason Segal is one of my favorite actors. It got me ready for Pineapple Express, which will probably be just as funny.

Lost Boys: The Tribe - Ahhhh, the lost boys. I feel really bad for not having this in my list of 80's movies. What was I doing? I might have to do that list over again somewhere down the line. Well, I'm not sure if you guys watch this show or not but I like to watch the two cory's. It's about Feldman & Haim and their relationship now. I'm not sure if it's real or not because I've heard that it's suppose to be planned but whatever. I enjoy it. The second movie just had Feldman in it for the theatrical version of the movie, which stars the guy who played Stifler's brother in the American Pie: Band Camp movie. He and his sister move to California and get mixed up with vampires, yeah yeah yeah. The movie was interesting, the death scenes were more graphic than the first movie. The ending was okay. Probably the best part was the alternate endings. There are two. The first one has Haim and Feldman walking on the beach with Haim telling Feldman that his brother(who was turned into a Vampire) is coming back for them. The second ending is the same only Haim shows Feldman that he was bit on his shoulder by the brother. So, I guess there will be a third movie.

A couple quick things

Well Malone, I wouldn't be working at an actual store, I think I'd be working at the corporate office, which is in Columbus(on a side note, another reason to come to columbus is that I've heard that there are a lot of models that live here because the Limited Company is based here. I haven't seen them, but I've heard about them, ha ha). But, if I don't fit the mold, I do think the job would be fun. Of course their website sux and I haven't been able to send my resume, oh well.

Rob, I actually do not have any of Allen's contact info. Thankfully. I thought he went missing and noone knew where he was. Does anyone have an update on that story about his missing? Frenette and I would always joke that he was in some scheme with some broker out in Chicago to take over the ticketing world. ha ha. One day I'll post my favorite Allen stories. They're all great, but these will be my favorite. I asked Frenette to write a song called the ballad of Allen Beaverstock. It'd be an instant classic. Also, in one of my books that I'd like to write, I want a character that's just like him. I just need to come up with a funny name for the character.

Saturday, July 26, 2008

Finally the Rob has come back to ...... my blog

Ha ha, I miss the days when I actually liked watching wrestling. Yeah, about 10 years ago. My has it gotten really really bad. Anywho, I liked what Malone wrote about Shockey and so I'm going to post what I think about it. I must say that I'm sad to see Shockey go. He was one of my favorite Giants to watch play, when he was playing. I liked the fact that he was cocky and didn't mind showing it off. That didn't bother me whatsoever. I'll miss him in big games because he could always be counted on to make a big play. But, what I won't miss is him always getting injured. Always. I'm not sure if he's ever made it through a season without getting injured. I don't blame him for it. He plays a pretty demanding position and its easy to get banged up. Now, if we didn't have a good tight end to replace him with, I'd be worried, but fortunately we have Kevin Boss. He's no Moss, but he'll do. Ha ha, that was really bad. I'm just glad that Boss was able to develop a ton over the season. Plus, he's a lot bigger than Shockey is. He's not as fast, but he's a better blocker and he can still catch the ball and run with it(see the Super Bowl for the highlights). I think he'll do all right now that he's the feature TE. Plus, it's nice to get two picks for him. I wish we had done this trade before the draft and then taken Trevor Laws with the second round pick, but that's me. Hopefully we'll get a good return on the investment. I think we will.

The job hunt is going okay. I actually found a pretty interesting job for Abercrombie & Fitch. They want me to be a model. Just kidding. If anything happens with it, I'll let you know about it but I think I'd have a lot of fun doing it. So, we'll see what happens.

A Few Things

Well, I guess I should start this off by apologizing for not writing that much recently. I've been in a little funk, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I got College Football. I've been feeling a little blue because things at work have not been going well. I'm actually in the process of looking for another job because I hate it soooo much there. It has nothing to do with the people I work with, I actually really like them and I'll miss them when I'm gone, it has everything to do with the company. Plus, I think I'm burning out on customer service, which I've done since I graduated college. I just find myself caring less and less every day, which in customer service is not a good thing. Also there has been a problem with management. Here's the thing, when I took this job I was told that every once in a while they have a shift bid. That's when another shift becomes available and they give the shift bid to those who have better stats. I was really excited about that because I was new and I got stuck with a pretty crappy shift. So a few weeks ago at work they gave us a mandatory shift bid and instead of basing it of off our stats, they based it off of seniority and this really pissed me off. Well, I ended up getting a pretty decent shift, one that I was actually looking forward to going to and it was suppose to start on Saturday. Well, well well, this past Saturday I got to work and I found out that they were postponing the shift bid with no reason why, which is great. One of the few things that I will take from working under Matt(at ticketnetwork) is that people don't remember 95% of the things that you come through with, they remember the 5% of the things you promise and don't give them. And this really pissed me off, what they did. Then on Tuesday, just before I was about to leave I found out that we're being put into tech. I'm not looking forward to this at all. Soooo, I've decided to look for a new job. I've sent my resume out to a few places and I hope I can get one of them, but I really hate looking for a job. I really do. The process is such a pain in the butt and is completely annoying. Whenever I see a job I always think one of two things. Either I'm going to hate the job or I'm not qualified for one. Its a horrible opinion to have but I can't help it. So, we'll see what happens as the weeks go by, since it took me like 5 months to find this job. Ugghhhhhhhhh. Oh well.

It was nice to see the Mets pull out two of three against the Phillies and to take first place by ourselves. Now we have the cards in for another big series. All I want for the Mets to do for now on is to win 2 games a series. That would put us in a good position to win the division.

Yesterday I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall. This is by far the funniest movie I've seen this summer. And, I saw it at the cheap theater(I paid $1.25 to see it) which means that it'll be coming out on video soon. If you haven't seen the movie yet go rent it when its out on video. You might want to cover your eyes for the beginning of the movie, but it's really funny and you'll laugh throughout it. Well, hopefully I'll be able to get a couple more posts up before the end of the month.

On a side note, I do feel better a little bit. See, writing can help!

Monday, July 21, 2008

Oh yeah, it's Monday

I wish there was some list out there where it starts, "You know it's Monday when..." There probably is, but I'm too lazy to look it up. So, someone else do it. Ha ha. Well, earlier this month, or maybe last month I posted the top 5 jobs I wish I could have now. Well, I decided to expand that list. So, here are the next five jobs I wish I had. You know you'll love it:

#6. Win the lotto - Yeah, it's not a job, but whatever. What would be better than to win the lotto and never have to work again? I'm not talking about winning like a mil, I'm talking about winning like $250 million. After taxes, you're probably looking at like $125 mil. Give or take a little. I always hear people say that if they won the lotto they'd still want to work. Not me, I'm that lazy. My favorite weekend days are the days that I go to bed late, wake up late and then I can either sit around and watch tv/play playstation or go out shopping for more movies/games to watch/play. When it's my weekend, I really don't want to do anything constructive. I'd rather just pay someone and I'd be able to do that by winning the lotto.

#7. Artist - I guess this kinda goes along with writing or maybe not. Maybe that's just in my head. But, I've always thought it was amazing whenever I meet someone who can really draw. I am not one of those people. Now, I wouldn't want to be an artist who draws paintings and sells them. Oh no, I'd want to either draw/color for a comic book or for anime tv shows/movies. That would just be sweet. Or, I could be the person who comes up with the storylines for these things. Why didn't I get these genes???

#8. Voice Actor - How great would it be if all you did for work was be the voice for some cartoon show or movie. It just seems like it would be pretty cool. I wonder how does someone get into this business? Also, how do I get into this career? I think it'd be pretty cool. Plus, then someone would make a wikipedia page for you. Sweet!!

#9. Voice Over for Trailers - I guess technically this is different than the voice actor so it gets its own spot. I'd love to be the guy who does the voices for the movie trailers. It would be sweet to be able to see the movie before it comes out and then to be recognized by people as the guy from the trailer. I think there's like 4 of them out there plus you can do a geico commercial.

#10. Computer Programmer - Ha ha, just kidding Malone!

#10. That Guy Actor - You know who I'm talking about. It's that guy and you can't remember his name but you can recognize him from the movies he's been in. He's never the main character but always plays an important supporting role. And then once you see him in a movie on tv you automatically want to look his name up on imdb only to forget it later on. This is to you, Robert Patrick!(er... at least I think that's his name)

Ugggghhhh

Well, I'm going to keep this one short. I'll write something longer tomorrow for you all to enjoy. I saw The Dark Knight on Friday. It was awesome. Really, really awesome. You should all go see it. I'm going to save writing about it for a little while, probably like a week or two so that everyone has time to go watch it. There are some very interesting things that they can do from here.

Anywho, I went to the Mets game on Saturday. It sucked. It was extremely frustrating and the team showed why they need Ryan Church back! It won't happen soon, but it would be nice if he was on the team. As much as I like Delgado in the 6th spot, it might be time to put him back in the 5 spot. We'll see what happens. I'm also wondering what moves the Mets might make. I've been hearing about them going after one of the Pirates OF's. I don't think we need Xavier Nady, since we traded him for Oliver Perez and he's really injury prone. We don't need another one of those. I'd love for us to get Jason Bay. That would be a sick outfield once Church gets better. Who wouldn't want a Bay-Beltran-Church OF? Let's hope it happens. Til then, suckers.

Friday, July 18, 2008

Oh you didn't know? You're ass better callllllllllll somebody!

Sorry for the New Age Outlaws intro for a title. Probably my favorite tag team of all time. Anywho, I agree with Malone. That was an amazing win last night, and I got to watch it, which is even better. The Mets have won the last two games I've got to watch on tv, the first one was the great game by Pelfrey and then last night's come from behind, twice, to win it. As soon as Wright hit that ball I knew it was out. It's about time he started hitting the opposite way. Well, I'll admit it, the old Delgado seems to be back. Lets hope it stays that way the rest of the year and maybe I'll forget about the whole Mike Jacobs thing(probably not). Anywho, Perrotti and Mike, how do you feel about Richie Sexson joining the Spankees? How long do you think he'll last, 1-2 weeks? I don't think it's a bad pick up. If anyone needed a new place to play it was him. We'll see if he can pick it up again. Sort of how Fernando Tatis has. Where did this guy come from? But I'm happy.

So anywho, today is my second to last no work on Fridays. I start my new schedule(which I think I'll like better) in two Saturdays. But also, it's the opening night for The Dark Knight. I personally think this movie will make the most money this summer. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this movie will make at least $600 mil world wide. I wouldn't be surprised if it made at least $750 mil. So, in honor of the movie coming out I'm going to give you my rankings of the Batman movies and the two story lines that I'd like to see them go with after this movie.

#1. Batman Begins - Does anyone really remember Christian Bale before this movie? I do, because I grew up with two sisters I didn't really have a fight in picking which movie the family was going to rent, so many times we got stuck watching Newsies, a musical about the 1900's and the kids who sold newspapers. I remember four people from that movie. 1 was Dougie Howsier's best friend, I can't remember his name. 2 was the kid who was one of the bad guys in Robocop 2. 3 is Bill Pulman(or Paxton, I can't remember which one), the President from Independence Day. 4 is Christian Bale. He played the ring leader. Well, as his career went on, he did some movies but nothing really big, well maybe besides American Psycho. Then all of a sudden he was cast as Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins and I knew he'd be great. And he was. This was an amazing Origin storyline(one we didn't really get from the other movies). Great story, great action, great acting. This is a movie I can watch over and over again.

#2. Batman Forever - This is a movie that people either love or hate. I happen to be a part of the group that loves this movie. And no, it's not because of Val Kilmer as Batman(he wasn't that bad. No where near as bad as George Clooney), but because of everything else. Jim Carey completely stole whatever scene he was in. He was the perfect Riddler(if they have the Riddler in any of the other movies I hope he's it or at least someone as funny as him). Also Nicole Kidman was actually still hot at this point. Tommy Lee Jones was good as Two Face. Chris O'Donnell was good. I like how they did the death of his family and he was a good Robin. Plus, the soundtrack was awesome. By far one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, plus it introduced me to Sunny Day Real Estate. Ha ha. For these reasons, it will always be ranked high by me.

#3. Batman - Yeah, yeah, most people would rank this higher, but not me. It's just below Batman Forever. Michael Keaton was the second best Batman(just below Christian Bale) and I kinda wish he had kept playing Batman and I think he would too as I can't think of any movie he's done in the last 5-7 years. Can anyone? I remember he did that movie multilicity or something like that and it really really sucked. I think I turned it off half way through, ha ha. What really made this movie was Jack Nicholson. He played the perfect Joker. What I hate about the first two movies is that they just killed off the bad guys. What fun is that? Don't get me wrong, the death scene for the Joker was great. The way that he had a smile on his face and had that laughing voice at the end was classic, but still. One thing I'm hoping about in the Dark Knight is that, even though Heath is dead, please don't kill off the Joker. Please!!!

#4. Batman Returns - I really don't like this movie. Even with Christopher Walken in it, I don't know, this movie was just a little too dark for me. I just can't watch it whenever its on. I guess after thinking about this movie I can see why Michael Keaton didn't want to be Batman anymore, ha ha. Once again, did you have to kill off the Penguin? Oh well.

#5. Batman & Robin - I think this was the first movie I went to knowing I was going to hate it and I would want my money back, but I owed it to the franchise to give it a chance. I was wrong. I wish I could have that time back. What was the point of Bane? I don't get it. This movie should never had been made.

So, Even though I haven't seen it yet, I think the Dark Knight will be #1 on this list. I know that's saying a lot, but just from the previews I think the movie will be great. Now the question is, what do you do next? Personally I'd like to see these two storylines be made. #1, I'd like to see Robin in the movies. And in fact, I'd like to see all 3 Robins. The first one is, of course Dick Grayson(the one from Batman Forever & Batman & Robin), then I'd like to see him leave to become Nightwing. Then I'd like to see the whole Batman - A Death in the Family storyline where Jason Todd, who is the second Robin killed by the Joker(which, of course will have to be played by someone else) and then Batman have the 3rd Robin, Tim Drake. Yes, this will take like 3 movies, but whatever. It's hollywood, they can do it. Then, the second storyline I'd like to see is Bane come and break Batman's back. And then Azrael come back and be Batman and defeat Bane and then Bruce Wayne come back. Yes, this would be like another two movies, but I have time! I really do. And as an extra bonus for you, I'd also like to see a future movie, like 60 years in the future with Batman's son taking over. I have a comic somewhere(like you're surprised by my nerdness) where it's sometime in the future and Batman's son has just taken over. How sweet would that be?

Monday, July 14, 2008

Ohhhhh, I missed it

Because apparently with yesterday's post, I've hit post #80. Also, it seems that I'm on fire now this month, as I've posted in three straight days! That could be a record for me, or not. I'm not sure. But I'll tell you what, I've got a giant case of the Mondays here at work. The end of the day can't come fast enough, ha ha. I swear, sometimes you just want to strangle some customers. And when you get three of them back to back to back, it doesn't help. I just keep telling myself that ncaa football is coming out tomorrow. Ncaa football is coming out tomorrow. You're weekend starts tomorrow night. Just make it til then. That's it!

Anywho, I'm done with my complaining. For now. Until my next post, probably. Ha ha. I'd like to start off by saying Mike Pelfrey, where have you been? Where has this pitcher been the last 2 and a half seasons? Really? He's on a 16 inning scoreless streak. He's had two straight shutouts. Hasn't allowed a walk in those two starts. It's about time. And I hope this Pelfrey stays, ha ha. I just hope he doesn't stay streaky like this year. He lost five in a row and now he's won 6 in a row. I knew he had it in him to be good so it's nice to see him pitch like he should. Also, the bullpen's been great to. 19 1/2 scoreless innings streak. That's pretty good considering how "eh" they've been this season. I like our chances in the second half to either win the NL East or make the Wild Card. We're only a half game back of the Phillies and 1 1/2 behind either the Cardinals or the Brewers. I can't remember. Oh well.

I'd like to put out a missing person notice to the Tampa Bay Rays. If anyone's seen them, please call their General Manager. He's wondering where the lead went in the AL East. Oh yeah, it went to Boston(stupid sox).

Lastly, has anyone seen Hell Boy II? If so, was it any good? The previews and commercials made the movie look good so I'm kinda interested in seeing it. Of course, the first one looked interesting but it sucked. I just thought the first movie was slow and there were a lot of boring parts. I don't know, maybe I need to watch it again and maybe it'll change my mind. I doubt it though.

Uh-Oh

The blog might be in trouble. Not only do I have my ps3 back, but guess what game is coming out that might make it so I can't put my controller down? That's right, college football. Now, college football will always be one of my top 3 favorite games of all time. Now usually there's some feature in it that makes the game a little better, you know, nothing that's really that great. But of course, I buy it anyways(basically for the updated rosters). But, the folks over at EASports might have outdone themselves. Probably the coolest feature I've seen is the online dynasty mode. You can now recruit players and play the season with up to 11 friends for up to 60 years. Now, that's frackin' insane! It really really is. See, my favorite part of college football(which I've said in the past) is the recruiting. It's sooooooo much fun, I just wish they would make it real and let coaches offer the kids money(I kid, I kid). But now that you get to recruit against other people? That's unreal. Now all I need is to have more friends to get a ps3, because right now it's just rob. ha ha.

I'd also like to thank the Mets for their pitching staff to come out of nowhere and actually be great. What has it been, like 5 or 6 straight games with giving up 3 hits or less? That's pretty cool. Now that we're on ESPN tonight, I'm betting the Mets get shelled. It's just bound to happen. I'm just happy that the worse that we'll be in at the allstar break is 1 1/2 games behind 1st place. Not too bad considering what's happened so far. Wouldn't you think? I'll take it.

#4 is back, uggghhhhh

Yeah, I guess I should write something about it. Personally I'm sick of Brett Favre. No one has been given such a big of a pass by the media than Brett Favre. Really, there is no one in the history that has gotten as much love and not really deserved it as BF. What do you guys think he should do? I think they should trade him. There's no point in releasing him because you won't get anything for him. By trading him maybe they can get a second rounder out of him. Maybe a third rounder. I think the two teams that would need him the most would be Atlanta & Maimi. Atlanta could use him for a year or two to help build up Matt Ryan, but I'm not sure if they will. I think they might just throw him to the Lions. The Dolphins could use him because they don't have a real QB. They have two young guys, but a year under Brett could help the healing process. Maybe a Favre for Jason Taylor trade? Anyone? Anyone?

The Controller Is Down

Yeah, I agree I've been slacking off big time. I was just thinking to myself that I haven't been doing a good job this month. Oh well, I'll get it done, don't worry. This is a post that I've wanted to write a few times. When growing up and people ask what job you would want when you grow up, you know most boys will say I want to be a cop, a fireman or an athlete. I was just like that when I grew up. It's just that when you get older those dreams about jobs you'd like to have change. So, now that I'm "older" the jobs that I would like to have have changed. Here's my list of the top 5 jobs I would like to have.

#1. Writer - For a while now I've wanted to be a writer. I just think it would be nice to sit home and write for a living. I'd love to write books or maybe write for a newspaper, probably more the book writer than the newspaper one. Part of the reason for starting this blog was to keep myself writing. I like to do it and it just helps me out. Maybe finally I'll be able to sit my butt down and start writing one of the books I've been thinking about. We'll see what happens.

#2. Relief Pitcher - When growing up, I always wanted to be a superstar athelete. Maybe an ace pitcher or an all-star outfielder. Strangely now if I could be a baseball player, I'd like to be a relief pitcher. Just think about it, you work maybe 50 days a year and you make at least $500,000 and depending on how good you are, you could make like $3-4 mil a year. That's insane.

#3. Designated Hitter - Just think about it this way, you work like 162 days a year and all you do is go up and bat something like 3-5 times a game. That means that you "work" like 15 minutes a day. Who would want to do that? And you can make some nice money doing that, since what does Papi make, like $15mil a year?

#4. Baseball General Manager - Weird, 3 straight jobs about baseball? How many people growing up wanted to be a GM? Anyone? I don't think so. The only reason I made it baseball is because I don't want to deal with a salary cap. I understand that some teams can't spend as much as other(see Marlins, Florida and Royals, Kansas City) but still. Because of fantasy baseball I'd love to be able to put a team together and manage it. Yes, it's really stressfull but I think it would be really rewarding if you're able to build a championship team.

#5. Architech - Yeah, this is random but whatever. I like math and I think it would be fun to put that together to build buildings and things like that. This is one job that if I could go back to college and do it again, I'd look into being an architech.

The Best Baseball Teams in the future

So CC Sabathia trade went through today and with all of the prospects being traded to the Indians it got me thinking about who the best teams will be in the next couple years. These are my top teams:

The Rays - They're just stacked all around and most of their important players are young(Kazmir, Upton & Longoria). I'm hoping their success continues because they have a pretty stacked lineup and rotation. This could spell trouble for the Yankees and the Red Sox.

The Reds - Think about this, they are going to have a rotation of Volquez, Cueto, Harang, and that other guy Thompson(I think). If they get rid of Arroyo and pick up a decent pitcher, that will be one of the best rotations ever. Better than Arizona's. Plus they have Jay Bruce, Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips. They're just plain loaded.

The Brewers - The brew crew have Prince Fielder and Ryan Bruan on their team. But think about this, in next year's draft, saying CC & Sheets sign else where(and they will), the Brewers will have 5 of the top 35 picks in the draft. Just sick. They're going to be loaded.

I think these three teams will be near the top of their divisions in just a couple seasons. It'll be pretty fun to watch these teams mature and win.

The 80's

Well, it's nice for the Mets offense to show up yesterday. I'm not too disappointed with the split even though we should have won 3 out of 4. Now the Mets have a huge test in going to Philly. It would really be nice to take at least two of three, especially since we don't have to face Cole Hamell. I think that'll work in our favor.

Anywho, I thought I'd list my five favorite 80's movies. They don't have to have the 80's feel to it, just filmed during the 80's. So, here it goes.

#1. Return of the Jedi - I think the Empire Strikes Back just misses being filmed in the 80's(I believe it was filmed in 79 otherwise it'd be #1). A great end to the original Star Wars trilogy. There were just sooo many great battles in the movie and one of the saddest scenes(Yoda's death) and this is just one of my favorite movies all time. Now, if Lucas had just been smart and had not created the other three movies.

#2. The Goonies - This definitely represents what an 80's movie is. I love the story with it and the acting was pretty good since most of the people were kids. There are lines in the movie that will be quoted for a long time and I like the music in it(plus the music video is amazing). Any time that it rains it makes me want to watch this movie.

#3. The Neverending Story - One of the great theme songs came from this movie. I've always wondered if there really is a book called the neverending story that the movie was made from. They did make two more movies that weren't that good. And then I noticed that they actually re-made the first two movies with some young kid. I don't know why. But, the movie is just great. I love the plot and it's really easy to get into the movie. Ahhhhhh, I miss the 80's sometimes.

#4. Back to the Future - The movie that helped bring skateboarding back into the limelight, this was just one of those movies that the nerd in me loves to watch. I used to like the second one better but over time I've liked this one more. I will always want a delorian because of this movie. I'm betting that hollywood will eventually re-make this movie. And it will suck, ha ha.

#5. The Terminator - I like this movie just slightly less than the second one, but it doesn't take away from it at all. A great story and great action. Arnold at his best when he barely speaks. I really can't wait for the new movie and I hope they bring back the tv show. On a side note, one of my favorite deleted scenes from the second movie is when Sarah Connor is still locked up and Kyle comes and sees her and tells her to hang on. I wish they had that in the original movie. Just a great scene.

Honorable Mentions - Back to the Future 2, Breakfast Club, Stand By Me, Young Guns, Youngblood

Uh huh

Well, it's Thursday and I feel bad because I haven't posted yet this month, oh well. I've been busy playing my ps3 b/c I haven't had it for a while. So, it's nice to have it back. Last night I did see Hancock. It was pretty good. There was a pretty good twist to it at the end and the action was really good. Of course, cause it was a Will Smith movie there were a lot of funny jokes in it. Also, Jason Bateman was really good. You know, I remember when he did that tv show(sadly the name of it escapes me) and then all of a sudden he and his sister were gone. Now he's turned into a really good actor and has done a bunch of really good movies. I'm kinda surprised.
